are cowards who don’t have the stomach for genocide

turns out this is basically anyone - the Nazis found that their initial enactment of the final solution (firing squads mostly) was hindered by the psychological impact it had on the soldiers doing it - hence why they tried to find more ‘indirect’ methods of murder, resulting in the gas chambers

isn’t this the show where the chinese tourists are like “all this land shouldn’t belong to one person” and the big macho guy is like “yeah, well, this is like america, bro”

I was on citalopram/celexa for 3 months and felt no difference. they switched me to sertraline/zoloft which i’ve been on for 2 months and i still notice nothing - it’s like i’m not even taking anything

trogdor burninates the peasants; thus he is no comrade

probably the best guest appearance in trek.

Oh, you stupid Bajoran girl. Don’t you know who I am? I’m your nemesis. I’m your nightmare. I’m the Butcher of Gallitep!

good bot

No, you can’t ask that - it’s whataboutism

Which, coincidentally, was originally coined in Ireland in the 70s, referring to people who defended the IRA

Literally the most efficient form of land-based transport ever invented. Steel wheels on steel rails have very low rolling resistance.
NAH, it’s bad because you can’t clog up the lines with masses of inefficient, tiny, personal trains.
Also, you have to dig through hills and mountains to lay track - you definitely don’t need to do that for highways (except for all the ones that you do)

I do add fish sauce to basically everything. it smells like piss but damn if it doesn’t make everything better

I feel like I needed to wait for my prefrontal cortex to properly develop in my late 20s before I found I liked lots of foods I’d hated or refused to try as a kid.
Peanuts are good. And cashews. And onions. And ragu.
Don’t like mushrooms though, no matter what. 🍄

I’ve been procrastinating my scifi book project for like 10 years. Today I wrote out 62 senior personnel for one spaceship, just for worldbuilding. It’s never getting finished.

I have a soft spot for Suriname’s.
Anything that’s too busy and difficult to parse at a distance is bad.

Im gonna make lancashire hotpot this week, seethe all you like

Heh, I wouldn’t consider tf00t to be persona grata round here but at least his science stuff has always been solid

aside from his mandarin, basically every one of his videos where he ‘speaks fluently’ in one of a hundred other languages involves him basically stammering repeatedly while trying to get out a simple phrase, as though the elongated time it takes him to say
‘I-I-I-I’ve b-b-b-been l-l-learn-ning f-f-f-f-for t-t-two w-w-eeks’ counts as a lengthy, fluent phrase

there is a genuine complaint in there being a lack of ‘evil’ content, like if you side with the refugees in act 1 you get to see them subsequently throughout the game along with their side quests, whereas if you go the evil route and off them, there’s no ‘alternate content’ like seeing more goblin characters or something to replace them. as early as act 2 the option of good/evil kind of breaks down when the main quest is so linear as to just be ‘kill this particular guy, no he can’t be reasoned with, sided with, talked down, or result in any kind of outcome that doesn’t involve a boss fight and his death’. further, pretty much every side quest in the game revolves around ‘person needs help, so you help them’. if you’re playing evil, very often the only evil option is to not do the quest, arbitrarily kill the person, or do the quest and then be demanding about payment after the fact.

none of this to say that the game needs to be more racist of course

🧛

it’s a bit like McDonalds rebranding the Big Mac as the Double Burger with Bread in the Middle
